"She is from a loving and supportive family." What's wrong with her?
A ruling girlfriend who violently treated his partner suffered from series of injuries has been sent to jail for seven and a half years.
22-year-old Petite Jordan Worth was accused of stabbing her boyfriend with a knife, scalding him with boiling water. Besides, she banned him from their bed and decided what clothes he should wear.
Worth was living with her boyfriend in the village of Stewwarby, Bedfordshire, where she isolated the man from his friends and dominated his Facebook account.
Worth is an aspiring who graduated from the University of Hertfordshire and had a loving and supportive family. It is reported that she had raised money for children in Africa while, contrastingly, Luton Crown Court heard she cruelly treated her partner in every single way.
The court the couple met at college in 2012 when they were both 16. Prosecutor Maryam Syed said the two started a relationship and later moved in together quickly.
Worth controlled her boyfriends from deciding his outfit at an early stage and she then turned violent towards the man who the court heard had hydrocephalus caused by increasing fluid inside his cranium.
She assaulted him with sharp objects, wounded him with a knife and didn't send him to hospital for any treatments. The court also revealed she didn't let him sleep in the same bed as her.
Neighbours of the couple often heard them arguing and sounds of things being thrown in the house, said Prosecutor Syed.
She said Neighbours could hear him shouting, "Get off me, you are hurting me", "Get off me. Get off my head. Don't keep doing that to my head."
Worth was once seen at a window by neighbour armed with a screwdriver or hammer.
Some saw burn marks on his arms and sometimes he's with bruised eyes, limping legs and an arm in a sling.
In June of last year, neighbours called the police after hearing shouting from the couple's home in the village again. The ambulance crew noted injuries to his hand, burns to arms and legs which were being self-treated with cling film.
He was then taken to Bedford Hospital's acute clinical unit and then to Addenbrookes Hospital.
He had second and third degree burns which will leave permanent scarring on the body. The court was told Worth had thrown boiling hot water over him.
He finished examination at the Lister Hospital Stevenage on 6 June and burns on his legs as well as stab wounds to his body and limbs were found.
Worth was arrested days later.
The court heard the couple are no longer together and Worth, who is in a new relationship, has been living at an address in Ingoldisthorpe, Norfolk. She pleaded guilty to controlling or coercive behaviour in an intimate relationship, wounding with intent and causing grievous bodily harm with intent between April 2016 to June last year.
